I’ve had passengers ask me about the SE trips and the “milk run.”

C. CAN possibly trade a reserve day with a day off (unless it’s a weekend, holiday, etc .... prob will be denied due to lack of reserves)
D. Can’t drop a day of reserve. (Like the other type of “line holder”)
E. If assigned a trip, then displaced for training from part of trip, isn’t pay protected.... just put back on reserve.
It’s pretty much just like being a line holder.... but different. 😂

I definitely didn’t mean it that way. I meant they fly the sh.t out of you. Basically it’s a load of crap and they understaff as much as humanly possible thus relying on Premium W h o r e s to keep the operation running. Don’t plan to sit around.

Maybe on the FO side. If you end up in Seattle as a newhire before LAX you’ll definitely fly a lot. Also depends what’s going on. Things have calmed down a bit for now but that doesn’t mean it’ll change during our next contract negotiation.
